0:00:05 > 0:00:08We're here celebrating our Internationals win,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10and it's like a dream come true.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13I still can't believe it!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17The Next Step is the best dance studio in the whole world!
0:00:17 > 0:00:18- # ..take it to the top - Yeah
0:00:18 > 0:00:19# Take it to the top... #
0:00:19 > 0:00:21I mean, where do we even go from here?
0:00:21 > 0:00:23The galaxy? The universe?
0:00:25 > 0:00:28# And you say you wanna settle the score
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# And you need someone to take it to the top
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- # Yeah - Take it to the top
0:00:32 > 0:00:33- # Yeah - Take it to the top
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- # Yeah - So we can get low, low, low... #
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- RAPS:- # Yeah, I don't like what you're doing
0:00:38 > 0:00:40# So I'ma help you flow... #
0:00:40 > 0:00:43It's incredible, but it also puts a lot of pressure on us,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46because now we have to uphold the title of Internationals champions.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48# So when it comes to the pain, man, you already know
0:00:48 > 0:00:51# Work, work, w-work, work, work
0:00:51 > 0:00:54# Work, work, w-work, work, work
0:00:54 > 0:00:57# Work, work, w-work, work, work
0:00:57 > 0:01:00# Work, work, w-work
0:01:01 > 0:01:04# Hey, hey, h-hey, hey, hey
0:01:04 > 0:01:06# Hey, hey, h-hey... #
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Winning Internationals, me and Riley.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Nothing can top that!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13In the end, it all came down to me and James.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Our duet was the tie-breaker.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16But it's time to move on.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I'm in a band now, and that's my future.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23# I don't stay and I don't play like a memory... #
0:01:23 > 0:01:25James and I will still see each other all the time,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28but we won't be dancing together any more.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It definitely feels a bit weird.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34# I don't stay and I don't play... #
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Now that we've won Internationals, I feel like I've accomplished
0:01:36 > 0:01:38everything I've ever wanted to do as a dancer.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I've decided to move to Los Angeles
0:01:40 > 0:01:42to fulfil my dream of becoming an actor.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'm done. Time to move onto the next chapter - university.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52I'll miss
0:01:52 > 0:01:54everyone from A Troupe,
0:01:54 > 0:01:55but I know I'll always have a home here.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I think The Next Step has really helped me to break out of my shell.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07We've won Internationals, and now we get to do it all over again.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I proved I'm not a rookie any more.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And now I'm ready to defend our Regionals title.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I never imagined that I would be an Internationals winner.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19But The Next Step made my dreams come true.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I can't wait to see what comes next!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Whoo!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It was great that we won, but I was an alternate last year.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Miss Kate didn't think I was good enough to be on the team.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34And to be honest, I don't know if A Troupe is where I belong any more.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35# You'll never have to
0:02:35 > 0:02:37# Never have to be alone... #
0:02:37 > 0:02:38The last year at The Next Step
0:02:38 > 0:02:41has showed me that I can accomplish anything.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44As the dance captain, I took our team to victory
0:02:44 > 0:02:45at the highest level.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49And now I'm ready for new challenges.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52After Internationals,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I got an offer to dance with Bartek's studio,
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Wojdan Dance Academy.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I've always wanted to travel the world and explore my
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Polish heritage, so I agreed to go.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- # Take it to the top - Yeah... #
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I just hope Eldon understands that I need to follow my heart.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07# Get low, low, low, low... #
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- RAPS:- # Yeah, DC know a lot o' funny honeys... #
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I don't know if I can dance without Thalia.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14All the sweet spots we found together...
0:03:15 > 0:03:16..have gone sour.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18# I'ma young, got a lot of good
0:03:18 > 0:03:20# But you know I wanna settle down with you, boo
0:03:20 > 0:03:21# Let me know what to do... #
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Going to Internationals was the best experience of my life.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Going travelling for the first time,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29seeing a whole bunch of different cultures, it was amazing.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I am at the top of my game, but I definitely do have the travel bug.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37And I don't know if I can wait until the next Internationals
0:03:37 > 0:03:38to travel again.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40# Take it to the top... #
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I had a really hard time last year.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45My parents got divorced, I lost my focus
0:03:45 > 0:03:48and I lost my spot on the team.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I don't ever want to be an alternate ever again.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I was Miss National Soloist, twice.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I need to get back to that level.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01This is a new A Troupe, a new beginning.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Because this is our year.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And nothing is going to stop us.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07# Take it to the top. #
0:04:10 > 0:04:12# We
0:04:12 > 0:04:16# We're gonna show the world
0:04:16 > 0:04:20# Everything we're made of
0:04:20 > 0:04:28# We're gonna tear the roof off this place
0:04:33 > 0:04:34# Stand up. #
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Whoo!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Nice job, guys!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Look, we have an open house tomorrow and we're expecting a lot of people
0:04:53 > 0:04:56to show up, so I need you all to represent the studio well.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58'Internationals is over,'
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and it's time to start thinking about our Regionals team.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Where's Phoebe?- She's not here.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Phoebe's gone off to the Galapagos Islands to swim with
0:05:06 > 0:05:10the turtles or walk with the tortoises.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Why don't you go see what's up with Eldon?- OK.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Thanks, guys. Great job. Thanks.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20So, does it feel weird or is it just me?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21No, it's so weird.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Things are going to be so different this year in A Troupe.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I know. 'We've had to audition'
0:05:26 > 0:05:29new dances before, but we're basically replacing half the team.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Plus, everyone who wants to
0:05:30 > 0:05:31come back has to audition
0:05:31 > 0:05:33for their spot again.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35How do you feel about James not being on A Troupe?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36I'm fine.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I mean, we've got to focus more on the fact that we're the alumni now
0:05:39 > 0:05:42and we've kind of got to show the new dancers how to do it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Anyways, I got to go meet James so I'll see you guys later.- OK, bye.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Honestly, I'm trying not to think about me and James.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49I'm dancing, he's not.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And I just need to focus on Regionals right now.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Hi!- Hey!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- How are you guys? I miss you. - I know.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Does this mean you changed your mind about auditioning for A Troupe?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03No, I just actually came to grab my dance bag.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I'm auditioning tomorrow for a worldwide dance tour.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- No way!- Wow!- Yeah.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Do you have time to get juice?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Actually, no, I have to go sign up for the open call right now.- Oh.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- So I'll see you guys in a bit, OK? - Wait, Gisele.- Hm?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Do you think I could go with you?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I thought you were auditioning for A Troupe?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Well, I want to, but I didn't really have a good year last year and
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I don't know where Miss Kate's head is at.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Would you tell Miss Kate about this?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I don't think so.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I was kind of hoping it would stay between us three.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33'I understand where Amanda's coming from,'
0:06:33 > 0:06:35but if she's really thinking about leaving A Troupe,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37she has to tell Miss Kate.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- If you're coming with me, we've got to go.- OK.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Bye, Michelle.- Bye. - Bye, guys, good luck.- Thank you.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43'So many dancers are moving on'
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and maybe it's my time too.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48If I get this audition...
0:06:48 > 0:06:49then I'll know for sure.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Right now I'm waiting for James in Java Junction.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It still feels kind of weird to call it that.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I mean, it used to be Squeezed, then Culture Shock, then Hidalgo's,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03and now it's Java Junction.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It seems like once a year it switches its name.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Your juice.- Thanks.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- What's up, what's wrong?- Nothing.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I know it's a big shock, there's
0:07:16 > 0:07:18a lot of people that left A Troupe this year.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20But it's going to be fine.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22'I don't know why I bother trying to hide'
0:07:22 > 0:07:24my feelings from James, he always knows what I'm thinking.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I don't know. I mean, how is A Troupe ever supposed to win again
0:07:27 > 0:07:29if the group dynamic is going to be so different?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Riley, think about how many people we didn't have
0:07:31 > 0:07:33until after Regionals.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Cierra, Amanda, Noah, Max.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38'Maybe James is right. I mean,'
0:07:38 > 0:07:42we've lost dancers before and we've always come back stronger than ever.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Maybe I am worrying for nothing.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I got band practice.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57'I arrive at Java Junction and then I see this girl.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I know exactly who she is.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03And I also know I have to meet her.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Can I help you?- Yes. Er, I'm Alfie.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Oh. Riley.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Nice to meet you. I know, I saw you at Internationals.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18- Oh!- I was on a different team...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Oh, cool- ...but your duet was unbelievable.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Thank you!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25So are you here visiting someone?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- No, I'm actually auditioning for A Troupe.- Cool.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Well, I actually have to get going, but it was nice meeting you.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Yeah, it was a pleasure. - I'll see you tomorrow.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34If dancers from Internationals are coming to audition,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37then maybe we ARE going to be all right after all.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Eldon?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43'I'd been searching for Eldon everywhere.'
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Sad Eldon is harder to find than happy Eldon.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Or nervous Eldon, or mad Eldon or even hungry Eldon.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Hey, are you in here, man?
0:08:53 > 0:08:54No.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57There you are.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Man. Everyone's asking where
0:09:01 > 0:09:03The Next Step's International male soloist is.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07You can tell them that he's laying here drowning in unimaginable sorrow
0:09:07 > 0:09:10eating 65% cacao chocolate from Costa Rica.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11'I'm filling the'
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Thalia-shaped hole in my heart with chocolate.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Costa Rica? Man, that looks really good.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Can I have some?- Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Thanks, man.- No problem.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Mmm!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30That's really good! You know, I heard in Costa Rica you can pick
0:09:30 > 0:09:33lychees right off the tree and eat them.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And there's waterfalls you can actually swim in!
0:09:35 > 0:09:40West, do you remember I'm laying here in unimaginable pain?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, that's right. Sorry.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Do you remember that my girlfriend moved to Poland to be closer
0:09:45 > 0:09:46to a guy named Bartek?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48'All this talk about'
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Poland, Costa Rica and chocolate really has me thinking.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I have a hole in my heart too.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58And it's too big for 65% cacao.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Hey, Miss Kate. - Ooh, I wanted to talk to you.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Um, how's Eldon doing?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18He's not in a good place.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- What's wrong?- Just the circulation in the lounge, it's really funky.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- It's kind of bad. - I meant emotionally.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, yeah, he's not in a good place.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Well, why?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Just the whole Thalia situation really has him messed-up.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Well, how are YOU doing?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Not in a good place.- What's wrong?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Oh, emotionally I'm fine.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Just physically, I'm not in a good place.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45I'm not following.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51But I know it's what I have to do.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I've been thinking a lot about Internationals,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- and how amazing it was. - Yeah, it was incredible.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58And I know with our team, we can get back there again.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Yeah. See, that's the thing, I can't wait that long.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03I can't wait another three
0:11:03 > 0:11:05dance seasons to go back to Internationals.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I want to travel the world.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I just found out that other than this country...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12..everything is international.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15What are you saying?
0:11:17 > 0:11:18I'm saying...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22..I won't be coming back to A Troupe.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25'I'm so shocked that West is leaving A Troupe.'
0:11:26 > 0:11:30But at the same time, I understand.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31He's got to follow his destiny.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40SHE SIGHS
0:11:44 > 0:11:46There is no-one else out there like you.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50I'm going to miss you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Miss Kate?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- You were going that way.- Thanks.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08HE SIGHS Next step up.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25# All the lights All the sounds... #
0:12:25 > 0:12:27'I got here early for the open house and snuck into one of the
0:12:27 > 0:12:30'rehearsal rooms, hoping to see the calibre of dance here.'
0:12:35 > 0:12:37This girl's a little beast!
0:12:37 > 0:12:41It's so cool being here and seeing such incredible dancers.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45# Floating through the galaxy... #
0:12:45 > 0:12:46- Hey.- Hey.- I'm Amy.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Nice to meet you. I'm Cassie.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Do you go here?- No, I'm actually auditioning for A Troupe this year.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53- Me too!- Oh, really?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57If these new girls want to watch me dance,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59then I'm going to show them what they're up against.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Every spot on the team is up for grabs,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08and I'm not going to let anything get in my way.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11# All the lights... #
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- I wonder if she's in A Troupe. - She SHOULD be.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Cassie seems really nice.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16It's cool to meet someone
0:13:16 > 0:13:18who's just as nervous as I am.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- It makes me worry about my chances of making it.- Me too.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27These girls are worried? Good.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29This is my year, and I'm making A Troupe.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Right now we're just putting the finishing touches
0:13:34 > 0:13:36on this afternoon's open house.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37We just won Internationals.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40So The Next Step is on an international stage.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I'm very interested to see who's going to show up.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Haaah!- What are you doing?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Haaah!- Are you clearing your throat?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54No, clearing my throat sounds like...uh-ugh!
0:13:54 > 0:13:58This is the crowd cheering cos we just won Internationals. Haaah!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yeah, you might want to be careful
0:14:00 > 0:14:02because remember when you broke the Nationals trophy?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Uh, put it down.- OK.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I got that fixed, all right?
0:14:06 > 0:14:11I had to teach 30 dance classes in order to pay it off, but I did it,
0:14:11 > 0:14:12so It's fine.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18So, how great is it that Giselle's auditioning for this dance tour?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- I mean, she's totally capable of it, though, don't you think?- Mm-hm.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I don't want Riley to know I'm auditioning for both A Troupe
0:14:24 > 0:14:25and a professional dance tour.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I don't know how Miss Kate would feel about this,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29but I don't want anything to affect
0:14:29 > 0:14:30my chances of getting on to A Troupe.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Hi.- Hey.- I'm Henry.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I'm Eldon. ELDON SIGHS
0:14:43 > 0:14:46You were on the Internationals team, right?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yeah, I was.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I was watching it online, you guys are totally unreal.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Thanks.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54The performances at Internationals were insane.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58The second I saw them, I knew I had to come to The Next Step.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'm looking for the open house, but no-one seems to be around.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02There's no food either.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- You good?- Yeah.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08I just had my heart broken.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10So no.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12No.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15A broken heart is one of the greatest pains anyone can bear.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I once liked this girl, her name was Jackie.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Thought about her all the time, she made my whole life better.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24And then we broke up...
0:15:25 > 0:15:29..and I thought it was the end of the world.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30I know exactly how that feels.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Yeah.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34How did you survive it?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I hid away and ate a lot of gummy bears.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40- Huh!- Yeah.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I've been doing the same thing with chocolate.- Exactly.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44'Henry's making me realise that'
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I can't solve all my problems with 65% cacao.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51'I need 65% more hope.'
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Well. I guess I should show you where the open house is.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Please do.- Follow me.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I've got to pull myself together. I've got to try.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Yeah, that wasn't too long of a bus ride.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05So if we ever do get onto The Next Step,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- it shouldn't take us too long to get here.- Yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Me and my best friend Sloane are here to check out the open house.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13We definitely want to audition for A Troupe.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16LaTroy and I have been dancing together our whole lives.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19If we could both make it here, it would be so sick.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23LaTroy. That's the marionettist from the final dance at Internationals.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- We should go introduce ourselves. - Let's go.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Hi. You're West, right?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Yeah.- I'm Sloane.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Hey.- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- LaTroy. What's up, man? - How are you doing?- Good.- Good.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I saw you dance at Internationals, you were amazing.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Oh, were you guys there?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- No, we weren't there but we saw it online.- Online. OK.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Are you guys auditioning for A Troupe?- We are.- Nice.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47'I love meeting new dancers.'
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- I mean, I remember the first time that- I- walked in this place.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52It can be very intimidating.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Do you guys have any formal dance training?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Well, we actually only do hip-hop. Do you think that's a problem?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I mean, it wasn't a problem for me.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03But a lot of people from The Next Step, they can do ballet,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06acro, modern, jazz. You know, they're very versatile.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08All you guys have got to do is stand out, I think that's key.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- OK.- All right.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13But let me show you guys around. There's an open house happening.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- Oh, nice.- Yeah, let's go.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16'I would hate to embarrass myself,'
0:17:16 > 0:17:20but if West thinks we have a shot, then I guess we have a shot.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Well, the open house is right in here.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Ah, thanks for the talk, man.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You're welcome. Lay off the chocolate!
0:17:30 > 0:17:31OK.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39'Looking at Miss Kate...'
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Not yet.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44'..just makes me realise I'm still not ready for A Troupe.'
0:17:44 > 0:17:47And I don't know if I ever will be again.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57The open house is in full swing
0:17:57 > 0:18:00and so far, we have a pretty great turnout.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So, you excited for the auditions?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03I'm kind of nervous, but...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Don't be, you'll be fine.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Oh, hey! Alfie, this is Noah. Noah, Alfie.- Nice to meet you, man.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Nice to meet you too. I saw you at Internationals.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- Oh, right, he was at... - Yeah, one of the soloists.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14'I totally remembered Alfie.'
0:18:14 > 0:18:16His solo was sick.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18He would be awesome on A Troupe.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Noah danced blindfolded.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22How crazy is that?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It was my second favourite dance at Internationals,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26after Riley's duet.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Hey!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- What's going on, bud? - What's up, bro?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33James, this is Alfie. Alfie, this is my boyfriend, James.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Nice to meet you. You're auditioning for A Troupe?- Nah, man.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The spot's up for grabs, I guess.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41'I didn't realise that Riley's duet partner was also her boyfriend.'
0:18:41 > 0:18:43No wonder they had such great chemistry!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Hey, listen, let me show you around a little, eh?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Yeah, absolutely.- Come on.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Yo! What's up, bro?
0:18:48 > 0:18:49- Hey.- Hi, I'm Sloane.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Nice to meet you. Riley.- LaTroy. - James. Nice to meet you, boss.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Nice to meet you, Riley.- LaTroy.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56'If LaTroy and I want to stand out,'
0:18:56 > 0:18:59we need to make a good impression on as many people as we can.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Hi, I'm Sloane.- I'm Michelle.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Are you new here? - No, I've been here for a while.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I just went to Internationals with the team.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Oh, I didn't see you dance.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09That's probably cos I was an alternate last year.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11So you went all the way to Internationals and you
0:19:11 > 0:19:13didn't even get to dance?
0:19:13 > 0:19:14'Rude!'
0:19:14 > 0:19:17That was just...rude.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18OK, listen.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21She's Miss National Soloist.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23National Soloist.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Uh-oh.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25'Sloane, what are you...'
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh, my... Wow.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Why?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33I just insulted someone from A Troupe. It's not good.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36All right, Sloane, that's enough of that! Nice to meet you guys!
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Hey, don't worry about it. They're obviously new.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43This just means I'm going to have to work that much harder this year.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Sloane, remember we're trying to make a good impression here.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'm sorry, I had no idea.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Look, now I think I'm going to have to undo what you just did.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- How are you going to do that? - You know how.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56'Sloane made a bad impression,'
0:19:56 > 0:19:58so I'm going to make a good impression.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00For the both of us.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02DANCE MUSIC PLAYS
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Hey!- Whoo!
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Hey, yeah!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Hey!
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Whoo!- OK.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20# Remember that summertime when we were free... #
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Yeah!
0:20:24 > 0:20:26LaTroy's the best.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28He just gets out on the floor and pretty soon,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30everyone's dancing and having a great time.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Ooh!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35New dancers and old dancers are all just vibing with each other,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37and it's incredible!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39We're dancing with the Internationals winning team!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41This is so cool!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We're all dancing, and I look over and see
0:20:47 > 0:20:49the last person I expect to be here.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Hey, James. What's your little sister doing here?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Hey! James, is this where they're holding the auditions?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57'What is my sister doing here?'
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Piper is not ready for The Next Step.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08# We
0:21:08 > 0:21:12# We're gonna show the world
